A Theology of Paul the Apostle, Part One

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“You are holding the first volume of a masterful examination of Paul’s theological legacy. G. Roger Greene traces Pauline influence on Christian theology first by prioritizing Paul’s first-century understanding of the gospel of God and then by engaging Paul’s interpreters, ancient and modern, who have shaped the matrix through which we experience Paul. Offering critical evaluation and insight, Greene’s clear, comprehensive treatment enriches our understanding of Paul’s message for the people of God.”

A Theology of Paul the Apostle, Part Two

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this second volume, G. Roger Greene again relentlessly focuses on the language of the Pauline Epistles, resisting the temptation to go beyond Paul to later theological systems. With clarity and care, Greene allows Paul to speak for himself on matters central to Pauline theology in order to more fully grasp the freedom—and responsibility—of living lyrical lives that are the result of God’s merciful gift of reconciliation.”

Persuasion and Performance

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Building on their significant contributions to rhetorical and performance criticism, Perry and Low have assembled an excellent cast of scholars to explore how these fields intersect and inform one another. Both disciplines are strengthened—and new possibilities emerge—when the two are brought into conversation.”

Two Can Play That Game

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Lowdermilk proposes an insightful alternative to the trickster motif--that of manipulation and counter-manipulation. He demonstrates that this motif better represents biblical character development and more clearly highlights the plot function of the transformative potential of character interaction. Lowdermilk's careful, creative reading across testaments will be of interest to biblical narrative, rhetorical, and performance critics, as well as to all who delight in the story of the Bible.”
